  • the estimated PM accumulation amount DA has increased at an abnormal rate in a predetermined period from the time point 1 t to the time point t 2 in a state where the PM accumulation amount DA of the filter 32 is equal to or larger than the first accumulation amount threshold DA 1 and it is determined that water is generated in the exhaust system flow path
  • the PM collapse in which at least a part of the PM collected in the filter 32 is collapsed, has occurred. That is, PM collapse can be effectively detected based on the degree of increase in PM accumulation amount DA during the predetermined period from the time point t 1 to the time point t 2 . Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent a so-called erroneous determination in which the PM excessive collection state is uniformly determined by that the PM accumulation amount DA simply shows a large value even though the PM is not actually excessively collected in the filter 32 .
  • the filter regeneration for combusting and removing the PM is performed. Therefore, when the PM has collapsed, the PM partially blocking the cell 32 C due to the collapse is appropriately combusted and removed, and the filter 32 can continue to be used even after the PM collapse.
  • a temperature of the oxidation catalyst 31 may be determined whether a temperature of the oxidation catalyst 31 has reached a predetermined activation temperature (for example, about 200° C.) based on a sensor value of the exhaust temperature sensor 90 before the filter regeneration in step S 200 is executed, and when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst 31 has not reached the activation temperature, catalyst temperature raising control may be performed to cause an intake throttle or the in-cylinder injector 11 to execute early post injection (injection performed at a timing close to an after injection).
  • a predetermined activation temperature for example, about 200° C.
  • the filter regeneration is performed by the post injection or the exhaust pipe injection, but the filter 32 may be provided with a heater or the like, and the PM may be combusted and removed by the heater.
  • the engine 10 is not limited to the illustrated four-cylinder engine, and may be a single-cylinder engine or a multi-cylinder engine other than the four-cylinder engine.
  • the detection device, the detection method, and the exhaust purification device including the detection device of the present disclosure are useful in that the collapse of the PM collected in the filter can be effectively detected.
